Crews have arrived and construction has officially begun on Miami Trace’s new Wellness Center! This versatile facility is being funded through Student Wellness Funds and Permanent Improvement Funds, ensuring that our general operating budget remains unaffected.
The Wellness Center represents our continued investment in the health and well-being of our school community. It will replace the current Learning Center, which houses our alternative school, special education programs, credit flex options, mental health services, and other community-focused initiatives.
The new facility, expected to be completed by June 2025, will serve as a valuable resource in supporting our school community. We look forward to sharing updates with the community as construction progresses.

What would you like to share about your life and journey since graduating from Miami Trace?
The core of who you are in our school years remains very much in tact, however, I've come to learn that we evolve into entirely different people as we age. Who I was, my behavior, my values, my perspective, is different than when I was younger. Since graduating, I've found that the lessons we receive in life are more important than the success, failure, mistakes or achievements we garner. Life is about continuing to learn and it will not stop at your graduation.
What is one personal or professional achievement you are most proud of since graduating from Miami Trace?
A personal achievement that I'm most proud of us completing the 74 mile Georgia Death Race trail run. It's something I initially scoffed at as impossible for me. I took that on as a challenge to overcome and I not only ran it once, but completed it two years in a row. It had given me an entirety different outlook on who I am and what I'm capable of. Fulfilling this achievement has given me the strength to shoot for a 3rd attempt at the run.
What is your favorite memory from your time at Miami Trace?
There's no singular memory I have in particular, so much as the warmth of remembering the bond I shared with teammates that became friends. I felt like being in that environment brought me the most joy and something to look forward to.
What advice would you give to current Miami Trace students as they prepare for their future?
The world is in dire need of your greatest potential. The advice I would give is to recognize how essential you are in a person or people's lives. This has been my own drive and motivation. We don't just need each other, we need each other at our best and to learn how to define that as individuals and within a community.
It’s time to fall into healthy habits! The fall and winter seasons usually bring an increase in flu cases. Now is a great time to get a flu vaccine if that is something you choose to do. Ages 6 months and older are able to receive the flu vaccine.
Where can I get a flu vaccine?
Several places in the community that offer them such as local pharmacies, physicians offices, and the health department.
